Price for UV curing ink

[aaronchan]

I'm want to do some math here to see how much to setup a factory with UV curing printer in USA
I got some price online of the machine which is from Océ
But I couldn't find the price of the ink.

Does anyone know about it, specially Scott Martin since I know he works with this type of printers a lot recently.

Thanks
Aaron

Call some resellers and get some quotes. http://www.inxdigital.com/alternative.aspx?capitle=ink&family=494

Thanks Martin,

Is there anything I should concern with a UV printer?

Is there anything I should concern with a UV printer?

Speed, reliability, inkset, resolution, print quality and cost (short term and long term). As with almost everything higher initial costs lead to lower longterm operating costs. If you care about print quality 1000+dpi with an 7+ color inkset that includes at least one light black ink is worth going for.

I personally don't see or have experience with the OCE Arizona printers that you mention. Not sure why my clients don't have those.
